Relentless drive, unstoppable hustle, and a heart full of teamwork—my child gives 110% every game, lifts teammates, and never quits.
Thank you for generously supporting Joey in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
He loves the thrill of the game—the crack of the bat, the rush of stealing a base, and the challenge of pushing himself to improve every time he steps on the field. Baseball brings him joy, focus, and a sense of belonging.
His coach inspires him on and off the field by believing in his potential and pushing him to be his best. He leads by example, teaching discipline, teamwork, and how to handle both wins and losses with character.
One of my proudest moments was watching him go from being overlooked to earning his spot as a key player. He wasn’t always one of the best on the team, but he showed up early, stayed late, and put in the work. His dedication, grit, and growth showed me that heart and hustle can outshine raw talent.
